Pulsate enables you to track actions that your user's have taken within your app by setting custom events. You can use track these custom events to get a better idea of the customer journey within your app and you can also deliver targeted campaigns to users based on their actions within the app.
[block:callout]

"type": "info",
"title": "Custom Event Campaign Example",
"body": "You create a campaign with a coupon for a variety of clothes. You decide to show this campaign on *didPressClothesButton* event trigger. When user clicks on the *Clothes* section button, you send an *didPressClothesButton* event through the SDK. The server will take care of the rest and deliver your campaign to the user."
}

To enable Pulsate to track these events, use the *createEvent:* method on the *Pulsate Manager* object:
[block:code]
{
"codes": [
{
"code": "manager.createEvent(\"didPressClothesButton\");",
"language": "java"
}
]
}
[/block]
Once those custom events have been set, every time a user completes that action, it will be recorded by Pulsate and you can choose those events in the *Targeting Section* when you are building a campaign.
